There isn't much I would change about when Mrs Carthology married me in the LOVE tent earlier this year. However looking back, when will I ever have had a better opportunity to pose Mastermind style. Suit on, girl in a white dress and a photographer in attendance, an opportunity wasted.
I've always been a massive fan of the original Mastermind boxcover, with (who I imagined to be) Colonel Sanders dodgy brother, the one kicked out of the chicken business due to some "interpretive" accounting to cover massive gambling debts. Left to roam the seedy underbelly of the boardgame tour, using guile and a glare to psyche out opponents and attempt to win his way back to civilised society.
And who is the disgraced Colonels' attractive cohort. The somewhat bored expression gives little away. Maybe a backer? Keeping an eye on the money,a bodyguard, or maybe just there for the evening. We'll have to wait for the movie.
This adds a fairly frightening aspect to the whole game, with a seemingly drunk Colonel appearing to join in the family fun, playing off each other for the kids pocket money
This, however ,shows how due a "mix up with visas" the Colonel was unable to appear on the French version, instead replaced by catalogue man. Or maybe I'm reading too much into it.
Stand by, more of the big questions answered next week.
